6 vie for appointment to open Tuscarora school board seat

MERCERSBURG &GT;&GT; Tuscarora school board will appoint a new member during its regular meeting on Monday.

The individuals who submitted letters of interest for the spot were Roger Blattenberger, Kevin Hoffman, Daniel Myers, Kenneth Nolen, Cory Putt and Michael Stevenson, according to a list provided by the board secretary.

Whomever the board appoints will fill the seat formerly held by Dan Reeder. The board accepted his resignation at the last meeting. Reeder, elected to the board in 2007, reportedly left due to work responsibilities.

Loretta Martin, board secretary, said that board President Clifford Smith Jr. confirmed with her that the board would review the candidates' letters of interest and make a decision that way. No interviews will be done at the board meeting.

This is the same way in which the board appointed Jon Heebner, in January. Putt and Stevenson also put their names forth for that seat.

Tuscarora school board is to meet at 7 p.m. Sept. 8 in the library at Mercersburg Elementary.
